If you set the TDC to zero for the bearing, AOB to 90 assuming that is how you lined up your shot, measure your range to bearing line, speed acording to 3'15" rule. The firing line will offset from 0. move the periscope to get the firing line back to zero and that will be you firing bearing. When your sonar operator calls out that bearing fire away. All you will see is the explosion through the fog. You never need to see the target. Okay so the downside is no flag recognition but if you are just off the Coast of England you wont have to worry about sinking an axis ship. The neutrals be damned.

I'm a noob, so bear with me. Could you explain to me point-by-point on how to sink ships in heavy fog? I just finished my first patrol and lost countless merchants due to thick fog...
